It was late, maybe 1am, maybe 2, he didn’t know. Chris looked over to Eddie, he was messing with a string on his guitar, sitting on the bed in nothing but his boxers, just like Chris himself. He and Eddie had been trying to write a song and for some reason they just couldn’t seem to get anything down.
Eddie sighed lightly in a pout, he was tired, Chris knew that just by seeing his head hung low and curls covering his face and part of his chest.
He watched Eddie for a little longer before watching his head pick up to look back at him, his pretty blue eyes clouded over with sleepiness and exhaustion. They stared at each other silently, neither of them moving for a few minutes, Eddie’s slow and tired blinks enticing Chris to just lay him down, force him to sleep, and soothe his tired mind.
Chris decided to move first, gently closing the notebook he had been scribbling in for what felt like ages, standing up and sitting next to Eddie, who was watching him quietly, his head propped on the neck of the guitar. Chris gently pulled the guitar away and set it down on its stand before gently smoothing Eddie’s hair with his palm, softly murmuring to him, “I think we should just call it a night, try again tomorrow.” He watched as Eddie closed his eyes and nodded his head, breathing a soft sigh at his boyfriend’s gentle words and sweet touches.
Chris kissed his lips, his hand moving to his jaw before pulling away and gently laying Eddie down, settling behind him and wrapping his arms around him, rubbing his bicep, shoulder, then his chest and waist as he gently kissed his shoulder, his hands moving to gently push Eddie’s curls away from his neck to place soft kisses there.
Eddie sighed from his nose softly, mumbling a small “I love you” to Chris, to which Chris replied by moving to kiss Eddie’s lips softly before settling behind him again, gently caressing his arms and waist to coax him to sleep.
Eddie’s breathing calmed down to a light snore, Chris understood why he liked the ocean so much, his breathing was identical to that of waves crashing quietly on a beautiful shoreline. Chris continued to soothe Eddie’s mind even in his sleep, softly whispering “I love you” in his ear as he traced his fingertips over the sun kissed skin of Eddie’s stomach until the sleep deprivation caught up to him as well.

Reason:
“Where do I even begin? When Eddie first moved to Seattle, Chris was one of the first people outside of Pearl Jam to befriend him. Eddie was apparently very shy when he arrived, but according to Mike McCready (Pearl Jam guitarist), that changed when, and I quote, "him and Cornell went out one night". They remained friends throughout the decades up until Chris' passing and they always spoke of the other with nothing but love and admiration. You look at the way Eddie looks at Chris in interviews where they're together and you can tell he's completely mesmerized every time Chris speaks. I'm not even usually into RPF but I certainly think they had something. At the very least Eddie must've had a crush on Chris. Also, their height difference kills me. <3”
